Loved the Dongbei lesson! It's a great place, try coming up to the ice festival in Harbin in the winter. And up here people expect the ladies to drink more than in the south. Beer and baijiu is common at dinners and you're expected to drink, whereas in the south the ladies usually pass. And the jiaozi is very special. Hope you get to try it!

Another great menu-stealer adventure! When I lived in Chongqing I was told the divided hot-pot was "yin and yang" - like the symbol. But this also makes sense, the mandarin duck, nestled. Thanks for a very informative lesson!

I have a question about using 小姐 xiao3 jie. I heard in the north that it is very rude to use.

I really like the examples imbedded into the audio lesson. I think it would be wonderful if we had examples in all the lessons.
